And let me repeat my original answer. You seem to be of the opinion
that Django is - or is capable of - doing something here. It isn't.
Django is just a library. It doesn't change the operation of the
functions in the standard library. If you're seeing errors, you will
see them consistently regardless of whether they are at the Python
prompt or being invoked from within a Django view, barring differences
in file encoding, etc - that is, the conditions that will alter the
operation of the standard library.

It doesn't do that on my machine. I do get a Syntax error if my file
doesn't have a PEP-263 compliant coding string (# -*- coding: utf-8
-*-), since 'район' isn't a legal ASCII string. If the coding string
is present, the I don't get any error.
I do get a TypeError if I try to call unicode(u'район','utf-8') (i.e.,
inputing an explicitly unicode string), - but that's understandable,
since I'm asking for a UTF-8 decode of a string that is already
Unicode. This also happens regardless of whether I'm at a Python
prompt or in a Django view - which is understandable, since it's a
fundamentally incorrect way to invoke unicode().
I don't know exactly what you're hitting here, but it's a lot more
subtle than "Django did it".
